1.2.5 PC Card Interface Controller: TI PCI1410
The TI PCI1410 is a high-performance PCI-to-PC Card controller that supports a single PC Card socket
compliant with the 1997 PC Card Standard. The PCI1410 provides features that make it the best choice for
bridging between PCI and PC Cards in both notebook and desktop computers. The 1997 PC Card Standard
retains the 16-bit PC Card specification defined in PCI Local Bus Specification and defines the new 32-bit PC
Card, CardBus, capable of full 32-bit data transfers at 33 MHz. The PCI1410 supports both 16-bit and
CardBus PC Cards, powered at 5 V or 3.3 V, as required. .
The PCI1410 is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, and its PCI interface can act as either a PCI
master device or a PCI slave device. The PCI bus mastering is initiated during 16-bit PC Card DMA transfers
or CardBus PC Card bridging transactions. The PCI1410 is also compliant with the latest PCI Bus Power
Management Interface Specification and PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification for PCI to
CardBus Bridges.
All card signals are internally buffered to allow hot insertion and removal without external buffering. The
PCI1410 is register compatible with the IntelE 82365SL-DF and 82365SL ExCA controllers. The PCI1410
internal data path logic allows the host to access 8-, 16-, and 32-bit cards using full 32-bit PCI cycles for
maximum performance. Independent buffering and a pipeline architecture provide an unsurpassed
performance level with sustained bursting. The PCI1410 can also be programmed to accept fast posted writes
to improve system-bus utilization.
